This could pretty much sum up what we’re all seeing on social media lately:
Well, I don’t know about you guys, but her well reasoned post wishing for my brutal murder totally makes me want to give up my guns!
All I can say is that in 2018, get out and vote. I’m pissed off that the GOP hasn’t done anything either, but I’ll take nothing over rewarding people for this kind of behavior by putting them back in power.
I saw another one:
“Why won’t you cousin-humping rednecks vote for us?”
“Why don’t you child-hating murderers think we’re serious about wanting a ‘conversation’?”
Etc.
Well, I can say after this special election I’ll be a lot less inclined to vote thanks to the PA Supreme Court deciding to lump my red-leaning suburb in with the craptastic neighborhoods of Pittsburgh proper. If this map stands my new district will elect a ham sandwich over a Republican.
The NRA people say we need automatic and semi-automatic rifles to protect our homes and ourselves and for hunting too. (A 25 caliber handgun or shotgun would do the trick and could kill an intruder maybe not as fast. Watching the intruder die slow would be better.)
I don’t know about you, but I have never seen a hunter use an assault rifle to kill a deer.
They say we need them just in case our government wants to enslave us. With many assault rifles in the hands of us civilians, we can take it back.
Has anyone heard of Waco? That worked out well didn’t it?
This has to be stopped! And not by mental checks or background checks or teachers carrying guns or making our schools in fortresses. The only thing that will stop it is getting rid of assault rifles in the hands of us civilians. Quite selling them now!!!
Very few people say we need automatic rifles. We do need semi-auto rifles to protect homes and ourselves, and hunting too.
First, You’d be lucky to get somebody with a .25 caliber handgun. Which is why 9mm and above is recommended for a handgun. But a rifle is even better- because it has better accuracy.
Second, not killing an intruder fast is bad. If they are not taken out of the fight, they can still keep coming. Plenty of people have been shot and still were able to fight.
Because there is no such thing as an “assault rifle”. You are thinking of a scary looking gun. But there are people who use SLGs to hunt. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
I have no idea what you are trying to stay here
First, they were just people just to be left alone. They had no intention of fighting the government. Have you heard of the Bundy situation? Armed citizens confronted the government and the government backed down. Have you heard of Chris Dorner? One guy tied up all the police in a county for a week. Imagine 1000’s of Dorners.
What has to be stopped?
If you mean mass shootings, yes, that all helps.
No, no it won’t. No way anybody will be able to get them all, especially since we don’t want to give them up.
1. The NRA said we needed automatic rifles, not other people.
2. Ashot gun can do it well and if someone can fire a 9mm more power to them it is still better than having an Automatic rifle with a large clip.
3.The main reason hunters don’t use automatic rifles is that too many hits will destroy the usable meat. I have hunted for over 40 years. it all that time I have never seen 1 hunter using this type of rifle to hunt a deer or any animal.
4. Assult rifles are and you well no it, automatic rifles with large clips.Don’t act stupid.
5.It means the government taking away peoples rights and enslaving them.
6.The Waco David Koresh and the Branch Davidians had hundreds of automatic and semi-automatic rifles and many rounds to use in case the government would try to shut them down. It didn’t help them.
7.What has to be stopped is the sale of automatic and semi-automatic high powered rifles to civilians.
8.Maybe that all would help but getting automatic and semi-automatics high powered rifles out of civilians hands would help more.
9.If less are available less chance of someone using one to kill you or me in a school, theater, concerts, or anywhere we gather to have fun and not die in the process.
So P.H. the 2nd tried to engage you politely and sincerely. Now I’ll try the other way.
1. Learn to spell correctly and write coherently, or you come off sounding like the mouth-foaming moron you clearly are.
2. No. Fuck you. Neither I nor my guns killed anyone. Now what?
I’d cut him a break. I do not think English is his first language, Comrade.
I guessed that was your surmise based on the comment below (cyrillic). I apologize for the semi-harsh comment on your blog. I’m about out of patience for the week, and it’s Monday.
No need to apologize for that level of “harsh.”
I was trying to make a joke :)
They did not, EVER, say that.
Those are options, but a semi-auto rifle with a standard capacity magazine in my opinion is better. But not an automatic rifle- nobody said that.
Well duh. But again, nobody is using automatic rifles. However, in plenty of states sim-auto rifles are used.
No I don’t know it. What you said is entirely wrong. Please do some research about what “assault rifles” and “automatic rifles” and “large clips” are.
Ok?
They had weapons, but they never intended to use them to fight off the government. Koresh often went outside the compound, and could have easily been arrested. He invited the government inside to check on the kids. But the government wanted a show, and they got one.
No it doesn’t. That would solve nothing.
Nope, wouldn’t help.
Based on the UK and Australia, they have them banned and are having trouble getting “less available”. So instead of trying that fruitless endeavor, try one that works- concealed carry everywhere.
Lot of feral hogs are killed with AK-47’s and SKS’s. Ask any Texan.
Is that a good reason why everyone needs one in their house for protection?
No, there are other reasons.

When people are convinced their right no amount of evidence will sway their thinking.
i’m just trying to figure out how you think you’re taking a reasonable, open-minded stance… when you seem to be talking about yourself.
i’ll just address one point: “Ashot gun can do it well and if someone can fire a 9mm more power to them it is still better than having an Automatic rifle with a large clip.”
why do people who either have no gun experience or (more likely in your case) aren’t going to be the ones defending me/my family/my home think they know better than i do about what i am comfortable defending myself with? or worse, why do they insist a shotgun is the be-all, end-all self-defense answer.
i don’t like shotguns. i don’t want to use a shotgun for HD. i find them unwieldy and awkward. you know what i like? a semi-auto rifle that takes detachable magazines, or maybe a semi-auto handgun that does the same.
you like a shotgun, you use a shotgun. but don’t tell me i’m wrong to suggest otherwise simply because your opinion differs and NRA NRA NRA NRA NRA!!!1
